Because they believed the lie over and over before finally finding the truth. Just that simple.

I don’t believe it is about ‘the gullible tricked by lies’ myself. A woman is either a human being or is not.
I don’t care whether circumstances color the decision or not or where they succumbed to ‘lies’; it is unnatural for a mother to kill her baby, period. You either believe in a higher power or you don’t.
For those that believe they were “lied to” or “misled” I’ll let God sort it out with them when they pass on. That doesn’t, however, I have to excuse what they did.
